Guest Reviews
- Tedj (8/5): Séjour d'une nuit à Myeonddong - Localisation très pratique, pas mal de petits équipements appréciables (brosses à dents, échantillons...), chambre de taille large par rapport aux autres logements que nous avions pu regarder au même endroit Lits très rigides, absence de fenêtre avec lumières blanchâtre donnant une impression de malaise (pas gênant pour une nuit mais ne nous serions pas vus rester trop longtemps)
- Jolan (10/5): - Staff and the hotel is clean.
Location is superb

- Smile ;) (10/5): - Close distance to Namedenaum market. Easy to walk there. Hotel was good location to various restaurants. Clean, comfortable and nice area
- Louise (8/5): -
- Fulvia (7/5): - Posizione comoda, vicino alla zona commerciale di Myeongdong.
Il personale molto gentile, camera e bagno puliti.
Non c'è l'ascensore e c'è una rampa per arrivare alla reception, ma il personale aiuta a portare le valigie. La struttura dall'esterno è un po' fatiscente. Il nome dell'albergo, traslitterati a volte Kyoung e altre Gyeoung complica la ricerca col navigatore.
I negozi della strada sono tutti un po' decadenti.

- Michele (7/5): -
- Irina (10/5): Super affordable and central hotel - Everything was perfect, central location, comfortable beds and kind staff. Very good value for money. No lift available at the premises, you’ll have to carry your luggage upstairs yourself.
- Flammia (8/5): - Posizione ottima per visitare zona Myeongdong e Seul tower. Stanza pulita e personale gentilissimo Stanza un po' piccola bagno non comodissimo...ideale per soggiorni brevi
- Matej (8/5): -
- Eleftherios (6/5): - Τοποθεσια Κατσαρίδες το δωμάτιο .τα χάλια στους διαδρόμους μύριζαν.εξωτερικος χώρος και η είσοδος φοβοσουνα
- Charlie (10/5): -
- Gavin (6/5): A fine hotel lacking value for money - The hotel is in a pretty decent location within walking distance of Namsan, the metro, and not too far from the centre of Seoul. The bed was quite comfortable and the room was clean. The price of the room didn't match with what I got. The room was small and very hot, even with the window open. The aircon cooled it quickly but was very loud, so I couldn't sleep with it on. The bathroom has a wetroom design, so the everything got soaked when I took a shower. There were also some loose tiles and cracks in the sink.
- Laura (10/5): - La ubicación, tamaño, limpieza y amabilidad del personal
- Maurizio (9/5): - Very nice hotwl close to the center
- MIKHAIL (9/5): -
- Gloria (9/5): - La ubicación genial. Muy cerca de todo.. buena conectividad Tiene escaleras en la entrada.... no fue muy comodo por maleta pesada.

- SerenaPi95 (9/5): - la posizione centralissima e lo staff gentilissimo!non parlano inglese ma ci si comunica facilmente con app di traduzione o semplicemente con parole chiavi! può dare l'impressione di trasandato ma è solo un po' vecchiotto
- Kabibulla (8/5): В целом было довольно неплохо! - Неплохой отель, который находится в хорошей локации. Рядом есть заведение, где можно постирать одежду. Комната была небольшого размера, но это не критично. Персонал очень приятный. Помогли занести чемодан на 3-й этаж.
Ежедневно проводили уборку в номере. Но об этом их надо было просить на ресепшене, оставляя ключи от номера.
Жена говорит что ей было иногда прохладно, но мне кажется это больше личные предпочтения. Мне было комфортно Нет лифта. Но это не критично, потому что они заранее предупредили об этом.
Кровать оказалась меньше, чем ожидалось. Но все равно было комфортно спать. Чуть-чуть скрипела. Это не критично.
- Willian (8/5): Uma estadia interessante e bem localizada para quem almeja visitar a torre. - A localização é muito boa. Sobretudo para quem deseja visitar a Torre de Seul. Dá para ir a pé e pegar a trilha ou a locomoção até lá em cima. Há diversas opções próximas de café, de comida, entre outras. Para chegar do aeroporto, é basicamente pegar o ônibus e descer na estação do mercado. O rapaz que me atendeu foi bastante solícito e se dispôs a subir as escadas com minhas malas, mas não achei necessário. Para mim, nada decepcionou. Só realmente para quem tiver com malas pesadas, dificuldade de locomoção ou qualquer tipo de deficiência física encontrará dificuldades por causa dos degraus para acessar ao hotel e ao próprio quarto.
- Annegret (8/5): Gute Lage, kein Palast! - Gute Lage, gut erreichbar und trotzdem ruhig. Das Zimmer ist ziemlich klein, aber man will ja die Stadt erkunden.
- Marco Aurélio (10/5): -
- Tamás (7/5): -
- Oksana (10/5): A perfect place to stay in Seoul (and on a budget) - The location is perfect, walking distance from Myeongdong center. Close to subway, convenience stores, etc. The place is well isolated and you can barely hear any noise (both from the street outside and the hallways in the hotel).
The bed is very comfortable as well, and the bathroom is equipped with most important toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash).
The wc itself is in the same space as the shower, which may be “uncomfortable” to some. For us it was fine.
The staff was nice and helpful, but please note that not everyone speaks fluent English in the hotel. Nothing to add. Would go back today if we could.
- Anna (9/5): Great for solo travelers to visit Seoul - Great for solo travelers, the staff was super helpful! Good location. The A/C was very loud but it was fine with earplugs.
- Silvia (10/5): -
- taryn (8/5): -
- King of Lavezzola (8/5): - Clean and great location
- María Dolores (10/5): - La ducha tiene bastante presión, tiene frigorífico, tiene un supermercado en frente con buenos precios y la cama es muy cómoda y tiene aire acondicionado
- Nitin (9/5): Excellent Value for Money - location and pricing absolutely zero amenities or common area space but it was known beforehand so it was not a surprise.
- Ling (7/5): Budget friendly convenient location - Great location Some small rooms with broken fixtures,
Changed room and it was great.
- Anna (6/5): Good location for a good price! - Location was great and the staff were super friendly and helpful! It’s a business hotel, so it is very simple. Also, it is easier to access from the metro station rather than Seoul station due to some hills.
- Sarah (10/5): Kind staff - The staff were incredibly kind and they had a cute dog. Comfortable bed, cold A/C, TV had YouTube and Netflix, good location Nothing
- Allison (10/5): Exceptional - Very central in myeongdong. Host was very nice and waited up until 10pm when we arrived to check us in.
- Anas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zoe (8/5): Very good -
- Denitsa (8/5): Very good - The staff is extremely friendly. They allowed us to leave our luggage when we were not there. The location is really good. It is a cozy place Have in mind there is no room cleaning and they don’t throw out the trash or change towels, so in case you stay for more that 2-3 days, you need to bring your towels
- Denitsa (9/5): Superb -
- Gabor (8/5): Good location, kind staff - Good location, kind staff. The metro is 10 mins walk away, the Market with the street food also there, that is the best area of the city in the late afternoon / evenning.
- Emma (8/5): Very good -
- Zijian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alisa (8/5): Great location, cheap - Location The bathroom was a bit untidy when I arrived
- Sergey322 (10/5): Exceptional - Convenient location, 20 minutes from the train station. Easy to find, huge sign outside.
Everything was as stated in the room. I was even surprised by the modern TV and free coffee in the room.
- Pingkan (9/5): Very nice, good location - Friendly staff, great location, clean bed and bedroom, good value for money! If there is a self laundry machine, it would have been even better.
- Robert (9/5): Great value for money in a convenient location. - Handily placed and friendly staff
- Crista (8/5): Very good -
- Peter (10/5): Good location for a short stay. - A nice little hotel that was easy to reach.
Restaurant and venues nearby.
Good price.
Room was big enough for us.
Bathroom and shower room as good.
- Maike (6/5): Pleasant -
- Thomas (8/5): Comfy space with faulty power - Comfy space with a nice big tv. Shower was a bit broken so had to duck to fit under the head. Power kept going out every so often each night which was quite annoying. Staff helped transport us to the train station which was very lovely of them.
- Adrian (10/5): If you’re looking for a budget-friendly stay near the city center, this is a great choice. - Clean, warm, rooms have traditional design elements in a great location with cafes and restaurants nearby. Nothing in particular
- Richard (9/5): Superb -
- Hubert (8/5): Cheap and good - Nice room. Difficult to find. Difficult to open the door of the room. Reception is not always staffed.
- Tibor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (6/5): Pleasant - It had an excellent location, super close to everything in the heart of the city. The place is very very small. It looks bigger in the pictures.
- Melissa (8/5): Very good -
- Sanjeda (4/5): - Property did not have an elevator. Room was way too small but the bathroom was nice and big. The place is old and not too clean needs renovation. Need more English speaking speaker even if it is a little. Did not feel too safe if you're a solo traveller. I would not recommend that.
- Ross (6/5): Pleasant - Cheap and central Small rooms, but you can't have everything perfect at a lower than standard rate price
- Claes (8/5): Good affordable hotel not far from the railway station - A nice clean room with a double bed. The room was equipped with a small refridgerator, water kettle, TV, and AC. The rooms exceeded expectations set by the surrounding area. There is a nearby bus stop which vcan be reached directly from the airport. The railway station is only a few bus stops away. The hotel does not offer breakfast, which we knew from the information.
- Sun Y (4/5): - Poor service
- Annabel (7/5): Good - The hotel was located around within 10 minutes walk to Nam Dae Mun Market and around 15 minutes walk to Myeong Dong which made it convenient to get there without having to take the train or bus. Also lots of food options on the same street as the hotel. Coin laundry just up the road if needed. Staff was friendly. Helped us hold our luggage as we arrived early from the airport. The room was quite small. Barely had space to have 2 suitcases opened at once. No lifts or slopes so you have to carry your suitcase up the stairs.
Low security, anyone could enter the hotel doors. Our room was right by the back entrance. One night around 11.40pm I heard someone play with the room's electronic lock and rattle the door handle hard which was quite a frightening experience.
- SHINYA (10/5): - 日本語も話せて、物凄く親切でフレンドリーなスタッフさんだらけでした!料金も安価でしたのでまた利用したいと思いました。
- Lunara (7/5): Good - Location is good, close to Seoul station and market. Internet in evenings was just terrible
- Kate (8/5): Very good - Good sized room. Very clean. Quiet. Hallways and common areas were a bit dated but fine
- Yu (10/5): I'd recommend others to live here! - I like this hotel. Cheap and convenient, we lived there for three night and anything we need we can take it ourselves. It's close to Myeongdong and Seoul Tower so it's pretty easy to go shopping or sight seeing. When I was trying to checking in, there was no one at the counter, and I don't know if there's elevator for large baggage
- Dalibor (9/5): Superb - The hotel greatly contributed to the exceptional experience in Seoul.
It is located in a quiet street, which is hidden from large tourist crowds and yet is rich in content. This was very useful to rest after long days exploring Seoul. Near the hotel, there are several restaurants open until late, a large store, a laundromat and other useful businesses. The entrance to the metro station is just a few minutes walk away, which connects this location well with the rest of the city. And nearby there are bus stations with bus lines that run to all the most important locations around the city.
On the way to the station, there is a 24-hour "C U Mart" where you can quickly top up your T Money card and buy basic necessities at any time of the day.
In short, I liked:
- Excellent location of the hotel, well connected, within walking distance of Meyeodong Street, Namdaemun Market and Namsan Tower.
- Affordable price on Booking
- The air conditioner in the room was rich in options and quickly conditioned the space
- The room we got was very quiet, with a very comfortable bed and sleeping in it was a real pleasure
- Although the hotel staff did not speak English well, they tried to answer every question and meet every request we had. Using the Papago application, we communicated without any problems Maybe some travelers will be bothered by the fact that the building does not have an elevator, but it was not a problem for me.
- Mark (8/5): Great value for money in central location. - Owners were really nice, the location is very good and central and for the price, the room was great, even had windows you could open. Well the room is very small, no denying that.
- Djina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Duy (4/5): Disappointing -
- Sakellariadou (7/5): Good -
- Stephanie (8/5): Very good - The location is great. The hotel is a little hidden from the main road, but I enjoyed my stay overall. The room was fairly spacious for just one person, and the bathroom was big. The staff were helpful and carried my bag up to my room for me upon check-in. The 12pm checkout time is also very handy. Overall, nice stay here! I didn't like that there were no elevator, only stairs, just because I had a big bag, but that was about it.
- Silviu-cosmin (8/5): Very good -
- Miro (7/5): Good -
- Roma (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ibrahim (7/5): Good - Location
- Valentina (10/5): I recommend and will stay again! - Very nice family hotel in myeondong near to night market and seoul tower! Owner is super kind and friendly and the rooms are well equipped and super quiet
- Xiu (8/5): Very good -
- Mark (5/5): Passable -
- Qilan (8/5): Very good -
- Adams97 (9/5): Superb - Value for money
Friendly staff, although doent speak english is willing to help
Thanka for the pleasent stay!
- Niagena (8/5): Overall a great place to stay for a short vacation. - Great location and reasonably priced. Complimentary water was an added bonus. They even provided umbrellas which was very helpful due to the rainy weather.
- Jaap (8/5): Comfortable but small room. Perfect location! -
- Norzilah (7/5): Good - Clean and staff friendly No elevator & hotel is up the hill, not suitable for elderly.
- Mckay (1/5): Bad -
- Theresa (8/5): Perfect central place to stay with so much on offer close by. - Rated as 3-star, this is a great place to stay. Location is fantastic, staff are lovely, and it is great value for money. 20 places to eat within 3 min walk, supermarket across the road, 5 mins to Namdaemun markets, 1 station away from Seoul Station, and easy to get to many must see places in Seoul. The building is very well insulated, so the temperature inside is pleasant, and there is very little noise even if the window is open. So you can have fresh air in your room. The room and stairwells have lovely Korean decor. We knew in advance that there is no elevator, the Hotel advises you when you book. Two flights up to the top floor, but this was good exercise, and they helped with the bags. If you read a bad review on cleanliness and/or staff (similar timeframe to me), ignore it. The problem was NOT the hotel and it's staff.
- Sylwia (8/5): Very good -
- Huey (7/5): Excellent location - Excellent location, walking distance to Seoul Station, Namsan and Myeongdong. Bed is comfortable and the room is decent size for single occupant. Overall, it is still value for money for the location. The glass & see thru bathroom door may not be ideal for friends. Cleanliness can be improved as the table top is pretty dusty.
- Wei (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is perfect!
- Wojciech (7/5): Budget hotel with good location - Good location. Friendly personel No elevator. Basic amenities.
- Felipe (8/5): I’d go back again. - Easy going, chill.
Good location, and with a little convenience store always open just out in front of it. The walls seem to be thin as we can def hear from neighbors.
- Jantana (7/5): Good -
- Juliette (7/5): Good -
- Jeff (9/5): Superb -
- 나스쨔 (9/5): Superb -
